I've got this game a few days ago, and I was really excited to play it, I was prepared for bad fps because my computer is getting pretty old:
i7-930 4.1ghz
ATI Radeon 5970 (Crossfire)
12 GB ram (not sure what mhz, think it was 1100-ish)

I've been fiddling around with the settings in the game, and even on absolutely lowest settings i can only pull 40 fps on the heavy raining in the very beginning.

So I was thinking about upgrading my graphic card to a GTX 970, but what is the point if the game mainly uses the CPU?

So, Shadow of mordor, what will get me most fps, better CPU or better GPU?

GPU. Your CPU is fine, its not much weaker then my 2600k, and that paired with a 770 has the game quite playable.

And yes, the beginning CRUSHES performance, but afterwards, the requirements are a lot simpler.

Personally, I'd rec the best deal you can get on a 3GB GPU, and save the rest for the upcoming Pascal, which will squash Maxwell.

3GB GPUs start at about $170. A 970 will cost roughly twice that.

I think in the beginning for some reason graphics seem a bit pushed further ahead.

Nevermind, now that I think about it it's pretty similar, he needs a GPU upgrade.
